Many young children are not diagnosed with autism until they’re in the toddler stage. It really depends on what you’re looking for with the initial signs of autism and if you’re mindful of the development. I’m not suggesting that all children should be diagnosed, of course.

We know, as parents, that the way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice. This starts when they are young and continues throughout their childhood and well into adolescence. Puberty does a number on any child, and at times it may seem that your teenager is going through a self-loathing stage.  Think back to when you were a teenager and I’m sure you’ll remember going through the same thing.

I was always a slightly messy child, even if I can get super-organized in my head. Oh yes, in my brain, I can Marie Kondo with the best of them. But in reality? Not so much.  Clutter is a problem for me and I have always…
